Honeywell FG-1625RT Glass Break Detector

The Honeywell FG-1625RT Glass Break Detector is engineered to deliver rapid, accurate glass-break detection while resisting false alarms caused by everyday noises. Built with the latest detection technology, this sensor analyzes the acoustic signature of glass breaking, distinguishing it from other disturbances such as slam doors, tapping, or wind-driven noises. The FG-1625RT is designed for fast, easy installation—whether you’re outfitting a home, a small business, or a multi-room property—and its adjustable sensitivity helps tailor performance to the acoustics of every room. The device offers robust tamper protection and a compact, unobtrusive form factor that blends with most interiors. With Honeywell’s proven reliability, you can trust that the FG-1625RT will provide timely alerts to your security panel, helping to deter intrusion and reduce potential damage from break-ins. This detector is a key component for a comprehensive security solution, adding an intelligent layer of protection that complements motion sensors and door/window contacts. When integrated into a full-system setup, the FG-1625RT enhances your capability to detect unauthorized access without cluttering the environment with nuisance alarms.

• Fast, reliable glass-break detection that triggers your alarm system in moments, so you can respond quickly to potential threats.
• Advanced acoustical analysis offers high false alarm immunity, distinguishing real break events from everyday household sounds.
• Flexible installation with adjustable sensitivity to accommodate different room sizes, window types, and glass thickness.
• Tamper protection and status indicators help you verify the integrity of the device and the overall security network.
• Seamless integration with Honeywell security panels and alarm ecosystems for centralized monitoring and remote management.

how to install Honeywell FG-1625RT Glass Break Detector

• Step 1: Plan location near the protected window or glass area, avoiding echo chambers or sources of frequent noise that could cause false alarms.
• Step 2: Mount the detector on a wall or ceiling using the included hardware, ensuring the microphone ports have unobstructed access to the room’s sound field.
• Step 3: Set the sensitivity using the front dial or programming interface; start at a mid-range setting, then test with simulated glass-break events and adjust as needed.
• Step 4: Power the unit (insert a fresh battery if required) and secure the tamper plate; verify that the device communicates with the alarm panel.
• Step 5: Run a system test to confirm reliable detection across all protected windows and ensure no nuisance alarms from typical household sounds.
